asked the Minister for Defence whether when he stated on the 9th inst. that Mr. F.J. O'Neill, late Coastal Defence Corps, had been asked to return his paybook in order that his claim to arrears of pay might be considered, he is aware that the paybook was handed in on demobilisation to the Paymaster, O.T.C., Curragh Camp, and whether he will have further enquiries made into the matter.
